No official word on Baby, though to my eyes it looked like he might have got concussed in the first half...on a play where he drew a charge, he got hit in the back of the head by another Knicks player as he was falling down...after he finally went to the bench, he looked pretty sick, putting his head between his legs...either he got concussed or he's sick or he would have played the 2nd half. He was on the bench however...

I thought Doc missed a chance to get Hudson some minutes when the Knicks went small in the 4th with Nate and Duhon in the backcourt...Giddens played instead and played good defense, but missed 3 layups down the stretch (opportunities he got from offensive rebounds), which really hurt us. Hudson would have sealed the deal. Hudson looks destined for the D-League to work on his point guard play...why not use the 4th quarter preseason crunch time to speed that development up?

Oh and the refs calling that flagrant on House is (Please Use More Appropriate Word), especially compared to that euro bringing Rondo to the ground by his face.

Guess the gameplan was underrated

its different.. the knicks dont even have a set rotation, preseason is more to us than you, its a tryout for some of these guys so yea they are gonna give their all or find themselves stuck on the bench when the regular season starts..

Our defense was horrible last night. It would be better to stay at home than to play games when you aren`t really up for it...

Sheed looked slow out there. I thought I was watching a taller, slimmer verson of Antoine out there. He looked bad. Daniels played well, so did House, KG, and Rondo. I miss Leon. Our team has no low post scorer.

how'd quis look out there

I haven't looked at the box score yet. But it seemed everytime I looked up Daniels was missing a shot.

Daniels was 7-11, which begs the question: why didn't you look up more often? Daniels was devastating in the low-post, especially in the first half. Marquis might have made 6 in a row at one point.

Live by the three, die by the three. And keep your starters in when the other team has gone deep into their bench to save face with the home crowd.

Seriously, Orlando, NY, and Toronto have the most obnoxious, predictable offense in the league. Chuck a bomb. Get back quick on D. Chuck another. Lather, rinse, repeat. That stuff was hard to watch during the Jim O'Brien years, but at least back then we were the only team that made a habit out of it.

Hey good game guys. I think you are going to have trouble against younger teams this year---Pierce,Garnett,Allen are old and a little slower than in past years. Other than that you are gonna give Orlando a run for their money in the playoffs.....

Very gracious. Except it wasn't a good game, the Celtics are going to chew up teams of all ages, the Big 3 are not slower, and Orlando might give Boston a run for their money in the playoffs (you had it backwards).

It was preseason. Such conclusions should not be drawn from last night's proceedings.

Wow, that was a sad game. Compare this to the first preseason with the 3 and we are either getting too old and too slow, or too unmotivated. When teams feel like than can beat you, they frequently do.

This whole preseason has been uninspriring. Our age was exposed 2 years ago in the playoffs (ya I know we won), I hope that we haven't crawled over that edge. Wallace gives good results, but man he looks slow.

Love how you guys are trying to take anything from this game, its totally meaningless just like the game tonight. If you think your going to get the same effort out of this veteran team when games dont count as you would in the regular season your out of your mind. Next Tuesday they will be firing on all cylinders and il reserve all judgment until then.
